He was born in Lakendorf, East Prussia on April 22, 1937, the fifth of six boys. In 1951 the family immigrated to Canada, living first in Coaldale, AB, then moving to Calgary, where Rocky, with his older brother Helmut, formed a framing company, Hemlock Builders Ltd.

He was predeceased by his parents Bernhard and Erna Janz, brothers Helmut, Artur, and Kurt. The family would like to thank the staff at the Sarcee Hospice for the truly compassionate and loving care that was given to Rocky.
